Family Vacation
We enjoyed the house. It was large enough for everyone and well appointed. We appreciated all the games, well stocked kitchen, and all the sand and beach items. The location is great and there was enough parking for all of the cars. Suggestions for improvement would be weed maintenance on the pool deck and ant and spider remediation by pool and by the outdoor shower. Very large spiders were in the beach gear that was available for use. Thank you we will be back again
Susan F from New Cumberland, PA - Guest's stay: 7/12/2025 - 7/19/2025
Susan, Thank you for your feedback. Based on your comments we sent an exterminator to the property to get rid of the pests so future guests won't be inconvenienced. We appreciate your kind comments. Please come back again soon!

Tradition
Wonderful neighborhood, house is better than the pictures and the beds were great. Will be returning to this house next year. House provided a wagon and chairs for the beach, which was a very quick walk down the street, Plenty of room for the family to sprawl out and relax. View from the deck in the evenings was beautiful.
Lindsey L from York, PA - Guest's stay: 6/14/2025 - 6/21/2025
Thank you Lindsey!

Great house!
The location of the house is perfect! Close to everything in Duck and an easy walk to the beach. Some of the mattresses could use an update, but this place was perfect for our families to get together for a vacation!
Corie F from Hagerstown,MD - Guest's stay: 7/20/2024 - 7/27/2024
